BIO

Sierra Pilot is a modern hard rock band from Waterloo, Ontario. What began as vocalist Taylor Leith’s solo project, including two early EPs, evolved into a full band, realizing the sound and identity the project had been building toward. Today, the lineup features Taylor Leith on lead vocals, Wes Bartram on drums, David Goodman on bass, Brenden Rodgers on lead guitar, and Gabe Guerra on rhythm guitar.

The band’s sound channels the intensity and melodic drive of early 2000s post-grunge, rooted in grit and grounded heaviness. Thick, low-tuned guitars and hard-hitting drums support vocals that balance control with raw urgency. Sierra Pilot writes music meant to be felt as much as heard, living with challenges rather than conquering them, and carrying emotional weight with clarity and restraint.

Sierra Pilot has toured with high-profile acts across Canada and the U.S., including Skid Row, Buckcherry, Pop Evil, and Bad Wolves. Known for leaving everything on stage, their live performances are defined by precision, energy, and a deep connection with the audience.

With the guidance of producing duo A Window In (Blake Allison and Joseph Walser), the band enters a new era. It marks a defining moment for Sierra Pilot: a sound sharpened by experience and carried forward with intention — grounded, emotionally honest, and unmistakably their own.
